review 1: That cover caught my eyes at a secondhand bookshop. Oh, what a nice cover! And those illustrations...At the time I read it I was in a moment in which I needed a bit of inspiration for my decorations, my closet and my mind. Couldn't find a better read. The story is nice, not spectacular nor outstanding, but the book itself with everything that it contains (even the distribution of chapters and parts)is a jewel. Charming.
review 2: Three dolls named Wildflower, Rockstar and Miss Selene live in an ornate Victorian dollhouse in Madison Blackberry’s luxury penthouse apartment. They go about their doll house business and are quite happy. They have plenty of clothes, beautiful dishes and two boyfriends for company; however, there is a sadness about Miss Selene. The ... moredollhouse used to belong to Madison’s grandmother when she was a child. Madison Blackberry is jealous of the dolls and her perception of their happiness, so she takes away their boyfriends and clothes. Madison is one unhappy girl. She is ignored by both of her parents and has no friends. When her grandmother comes to visit, she receives secret messages from the dolls and seems to know just what to do to set everything right.This is a strange story with an odd ending – very typical of Block. I’m not sure who the intended audience is; although, I suppose both big and little girls will walk away with something from this intriguing little book. less
